Where was Lewis on that list? Maybe because he was already champ.

They pretty much say he's only a probable because he's not fun to watch , Not really much about him

" Let's face it , a lot of people thought Morales lost to MAB when they went to war in Febuary. Some tought he lost by a lot. The truth is he was lucky to get the nod in a very close fight that could have very easily - and correcty- gone the other way. But good fighters get those breaks. Julio Ceser Chavez got those kind of breaks , and so did Sugar Ray leonard and Muhammed Ali. Hell Joe Louis did too, and although it's way too early to compare Morales to any of those legands, the point is that getting beaten by a very good fighter and getting the decision any way doesn't disqualify one from greatness, or the Hall.The sense here is that it will make him better "............ um no i think it hurt him a lot more then it helped

how about jonny tapia?

[THE REAL NINJA]

how about jonny tapia?

" Inclusion to the Hall of Fame is virtualy assured if you are onr of the best the division has evr produced. Lots of people would call Khaosi Galaxy the best J-Bantamweight in the divisoins 20 year history. Some would say it's Tapia. Galaxy was inducted last year . Tapia will probably fallow . It doesn't matter that he lost to Ayala and it wont matter if he never gets Ayala back in the ring. As he showed in his recent win over Jorge Eliecer Jolio,Tapia is still a master boxer with enogh skills and smarts to compete with any 118-pounder in the world .His comeback after a 3 year drug related suspension probably helps him,and as long as he doesn't fall back , he should end up in Canastota".
